The leaning tower of the Oberkirche in the Thuringian town Bad Frankenhausen in central Germany has with a displacement of 4.6 m the largest overhang of any church tower in Germany. Its slant of 4.93° makes it more crooked than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The tower has 14th-century Gothic origins but the upper parts are 18th-century baroque. A modern finely engineered system of steel cables, pipes, and reinforced concrete anchors, should keep the tower standing uptight for years to come. It is worth stopping over for a quick look when traveling in this part of Thuringia.
